: As I college student, I am wondering how FIRST affects the lives of other college students. How involved are you all in FIRST, and do you feel that your participation affects your grades, or education in general?

I am very involved in FIRST, in fact I may be more involoved now then when I was a student. I think that this is because now I have to earn my way to the competitions.

I feel that FIRST has positively impacted my grades. My average GPA during the fall sememster is 3.4 and in the spring sememster it is 3.8. During the first month of the spring sememster I am spending 25+ hours per week doing FIRST. Once we ship, I have all that extra time to concentrate on my homework.

It is hard to juggle everything, but in my experience, FIRST and college is a very positive experience.
